FOR UWM STUDENTS ONLY

Don't have time to exercise? Looking for an incentive to be active? Participate in our 10,000 Steps Program and increase your activity, one step at a time.

This program was designed to get UWM Students to incorporate more physical activity into their busy daily lives by setting a goal of reaching 10,000 steps per day. Sign up now, get a free pedometer and start tracking your steps. This program is a surefire way to boost your activity!

Wear your pedometer on your waist so it can track your steps throughout the day. At the end of the day, look at the number of steps you got and log that number.

Be sure to log your activity daily!

You will have the option to enter steps or minutes. Read your pedometer at the end of each day and enter your total steps for the activity accumulated while wearing your pedometer. Enter minutes ONLY for any moderate to vigorous intensity activities you completed while NOT wearing your pedometer, i.e. swimming or biking. Be sure to only enter steps OR minutes for a particular activity. DO NOT LOG BOTH STEPS AND MINUTES FOR THE SAME ACTIVITY. For example: If you walk 30 minutes and accumulate 4,000 steps doing that, DO NOT ENTER BOTH 4,000 steps AND 30 minutes.
